NancyJohnson Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Well done on getting published! I really believe everyone has a novel in them, it's just the ability to be able to get it down. Hope the Sunn Mustang gets a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentalextra Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 You didn't need to write a book, you could have just turned it into an endless blog about your 'journey'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Bought the Kindle version. Not going on holiday but I've just started a new series of 4 but I've got something to read when I've finished them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) So you're name's not really 'Vader'..? This lack of truth disturbs me... Edited August 12, 2016 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 One thing - without giving any spoilers, to what extent is the main character autobiographical?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1471002425' post='3109903'] One thing - without giving any spoilers, to what extent is the main character autobiographical?? [/quote] I am still on my first wife, and have no biological children - two stepkids both grown up and gone now. I'm also quite tall with a lot of hair (and I was a good 5 years younger than him when I started it, crept up a bit since then though). So the baldy double divorcee with kids is in no way me. I've also been playing in bands since I was 12, rather than taking it up late like him. Saying that we have both done a lot of the same stuff, but the main answer is no, not very much at all. He's an amalgamation of a lot of people I have played in bands with over the last few decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddBass65 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I got the Kindle version,and have finished it in only two sittings, it was that good ! There's certainly a fair few uncomfortably familiar moments in it for all the weekend warriors out there. [spoiler]I especially loved Bill and his constant quest for 'The Sound' - I was quite worried you'd run out of guitars for him ![/spoiler] A great read, I'll be recommending it to all my musically-inclined friends.

Dave Vader Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 You lot are actually proper lovely - thanks so much for all the niceness (the paper is good and soft discreet, just in case). Can I be really cheeky and ask if you can give it a nice review on amazon if you did like it? I need all the help I can get getting it up (ooer missus) the rankings (again, ooer). Thanks even more if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
